In a recent DAN magazine I saw and ad in which a female free diving champion claimed that diving with ear plugs brings down the risk of getting an ear infection and makes equalizing easier. My girl friend has suffered from ear infections and when scuba diving she finds it sometimes very hard to equalize without pain. If the ear plugs dont make equalizing any easier they bropably would prevent her getting ear infections in the future because they prevent cold water getting in to her ears? Am I correct or totally wrong? How do ear plugs and scuba go together? I dont want to leave her waiting on the beach when we others are doing scuba-fun!
